    FORM - Related doubles

    If you think you have spotted a good form line and intend doing related doubles as a result, then to my mind you also back the first in a single (as well as the double) so if the second one lets you down you don't do your money, the leg 1 single will cover your total outlay. If the first one...

    FORM - Related doubles

    Would you not play each leg as a single so you collect on one if the other goes wrong ? Obviously if leg 1 wins you don't need to play leg 2 as a single...

    If you could be sure of good/good to soft then I agree he's an outstanding bet, he looks sure to show up all things being equal when many of the leading Irish fancies aren't, Romeo Coolio maybe the exception but he hasn't proved himself over 3m yet so has questions to answer.

    I'm on at decent prices so I hope she hoses up at Ascot and all the talk is of Stayers and there's a proper adjustment to her Mares price, and I'll be taking cover as I'm sure will most in here who nabbed the 33s and 25s...

    100% correct, it's a one-way market, they're only offering a back price not a lay price. Someone desperate to get their fiver on and ruining the market for everyone else...

    Sounds alot but sadly the clock has ticked by and as much as the brain refuses to accept the ageing process that represents less than 25%. It's like everything, there can never be a hard and fast rule and we have to look outside normal trends but the starting point should be with what the...

    Novice Chasers 2027

    The Arkle looks a horrible market right now, as someone said the other day if Old Park Star comes out and does what Kabral did he goes 7/4 and the front three take 64% of the market. In October. Did anything come from Bambino Fever's mares nov hurdle run ? Was too bad to be true and not been...
